BOOM! Studio; $4.99

With this issue, BOOM! Studios first Planet of the Apes series comes to an end, and we’re very sorry to see it go. This has been one of the best rides in comics — not licensed comics, not media tie-ins, just comics, period. Every single issue has been a page turner, and an imaginative, well executed, and entertaining experience. It has been accessible for new fans and a rewarding journey for longtime POTA fans who have always craved further exploration of the original continuity.

There’s not a lot else to say, except thank-you to writer Daryl Gregory, original series artist Carlos Magno, and to Diego Barreto, who has most ably illustrated the three one-shots that wrapped up the series. And thanks to Ross Richie and our friends at BOOM! for a superb ride. This and Planet of the Apes: Cataclysm have been the POTA series longtime fans have dreamed of, and you delivered on their potential.
